I feel really bad for the little guys get out there. I know lots of women who just wont date them. Other men that won’t respect them. Like 5’5 guys. Do you think it impacts them long term? I feel they think they always need to prove something. height you can do NOTHING about.


It’s called a napoleon complex. Read about it. Chihuahua’s also possess it.

There was this hot guy at the restaurant the other night. Gorgeous... he hopped off the bar stool and was eye level with me. I’m 5’3. I legit thought about him on my drive home. Like everyday he must curse that he was ripped off.


I know a short guy who would get all the women in the village. He was about 5 foot 1. Maybe even just 5

In New England the women are not for it. I had one friend who was dating a short guy. Every picture posted of him she’d say my “fun size man”. I couldn’t help but think he probably didn’t love that!!!!

The girls that voice that as a criteria are often kinda lame. It's as if they're trying to convince you of their own perceived value. On Friday, my aqua buddy and I ended up hanging out with these two girls. He sorta knew one of the girls. I heard my buddy say something about being 6'1. A little later she comes over to me and holds her hand over my head and says, "I only go out with guys 6'2" or taller." I said, "I'll make the three inches up to you later." She laughed and I ended up playing pool and hanging out with her 5 foot, cooler, better looking Russian friend 🤷‍♂️

You left out the part where the MAJORITY of short men refuse to date women their height or taller.

So none of this woe are they bs cause they don’t want us anyways. Too insecure.

Signed

-5’8”


I hate when I see short men with tall women. I want the tall women for me.

A friend of mine who is shorter does avoid the taller women.

It’s called a napoleon complex. Read about it. Chihuahua’s also possess it.

Napoleon was actually 5'6, average height for his time when people were shorter. Churchill and Stalin were also shorter than him. Napoleon is one of the greatetest military commanders in history, he had no such complex.

Ah, did you know him personally? What was he like? Do tell.

Anyway, there is such thing as a ‘napoleon complex’ and it does indeed theorise that those with a smaller stature in fact compensate for it with an aggressive, combative, arrogant, egotistic etc., demeanour.

I know he was 5’6 but whether or not he himself was average for the era he lived in or whether the ‘complex’ is incorrectly named after him, your examples of Churchill and Stalin further solidify and prove my point. As do they @heliumfiasco’s about having to ‘prove yourself’.

Nah, its incorrect, because he was not short for the early 17th century when he was alive. He was a great man, you can't take that away from him by saying he had some kind of complex he was trying to make up for, same with Stalin and Churchill. You're just using their heigh to dismiss their success. Hitler was 5'9 and trump is 6'3.

Success doesn’t negate someone being aggressive, ruthless, egotistic, militant or negate any of those attributes. I am talking about someone’s means to an end and their personal character. Not how successful someone was.

Nor did I say that you’re incorrect in saying that he wasn’t in actuality short for his time. He wasn’t necessarily the tallest but not the shortest either. However it is a THEORY which is coined as ‘napoleon complex’ and I didn’t make the name up. It was something coined by someone else to theorise the over compensation in shorter men.

I sense that you’re perhaps short or someone who is an advocate for militant ruthlessness in order to achieve an ends which denotes success.

Plus I can tell you of personal accounts where in almost all men I’ve met that were below average height had a complex of that sort where they did feel they needed to over prove their masculinity. It’s a fact of my experience as well as what others have theorised for years. Therefore I stand by the shortness claim.
